Best Answer

Tasmanian devils were not "invented".

The first people to have seen the Tasmanian devil would have been the Tasmanian Aboriginal people. The Tasmanian aboriginal word for the Tasmanian devil is purinina.

If the question refers to how the animal gained its name, it was because of its tendency to emit blood-curdling screams during the night when fighting over food or territory. This name was assigned by Europeans.
